I have had this gun since January of this year and was on the verge of selling it because it frequently failed to feed the second shot. I cleaned the gun and magazines and it still didn''t do any better. Finally, I talked with a real gun guy and he advised that I needed higher velocity ammo. I went from standard Winchester and Remington to the CCI Stinger and it did the trick: no misfeeds, more accuracy, etc... Now I love my P22. P.S. I am new to handguns and might have known about this sooner if I had previous experience with weapons.

I had this gun a couple months and I like it. Pretty accurate after I adjusted the rear sight a bit for windage. The Walther manual tells you to turn the sight screw the wrong way. Also, some guys complain that the gun is a pain to put together after you field strip but there is a little trick. Put the included guide rod on the end of the spring so it will not flop around when you install the slide. When installed, the temporary guide rod falls out the front - again the Walther manual does not tell you this. Also, this gun likes high velocity ammo. I tried American Eagle but it does not cycle right. No problem with CCI Mini-mag, Stinger and Velocitor. Last, the grip feels better in a medium sized hand than most guns. A fun and reliable little plinker... with the right ammo.

I purchased one of these 10/01/09. Fun little gun and surprisingly pretty accurate. Two of my friends also purchased one. I had trouble with mine short cycling and the others didn''t. We were using federal ammo. I sent my pistol back to Smith & Wesson. They reviewed it and claimed it was ok. They shot cci mini mags through it. I found that Remington Gold hollow points worked well also. My point is these guns can be a little picky with ammo.

I fired 300 rnd.s through the gun so far. No jams or missfires.I sighted the gun in & shot some nice groups.I think it would have shot better groups if the trigger pull was a little lighter. I coulden''t be more pleased.

This Walther P22 is amazingly accurate and very simple to shoot. offering both single and double action for a .22 is also a plus. with hardly any kick at all emptying the clip is as easy as one two three. i recommend buying this pistol for younger kids like me and just for overall fun.

I was amazed at the feel and handling of the pistol. It feels and handles like a full size handgun. The quality is very good, just what you would expect from Walther. The great number of accessories for this gun will keep it around for a long time. The accuracy floored me. It is very accurate and easy to keep the sights on target. It''s also an easy gun to carry. This has quickly become my favorite.

nice light weight fun gun to shoot. Easy to disassemble and clean. Has about one rnd per 20 missfeed. I''m not shooting special ammo, just off the shelf remington .22. It missfeeds much more often when my son shoots - the only thing I can figure is that his hands move just enough under recoil to absorb some of the energy required to chamber the next rnd. Probably would have no issues with high power ammunition. I''m impressed by the accuracy of the 3" barrel! Shoots about a 2" group at 15 yards. Bottom line it''s blast to shoot, but I wouldn''t count on it for protection.

Extremely plesant to shoot. Have both a band new one and a well used ]2000 rounds[ one. Both shoot very tight groups and cycle well clean and dirty. It is very smooth action and recoil. Clean trigger pull. Ergonomics are good, though sights seem to snag a little if carrying concealed. Perfect for a weekend plinker or to get new people introduced to a gun, but small grip for a large handed person. I am 6''1 and 175 and it is a little small. My wife is 5''6 and 115 and works well for her. If they had only made the PK380 as well as this it would have been a great gun.

the walther .22 is a very good firearm, i will buy one, not sure of the trigger pull pressure though, i tried a Bersa .380 and it had a smoother pull than the walther .380, luv the full size handling of the gun, it doesnt feel like a .22 and especially the od green!

My fiance wanted to go to the range with me and all I own are 9 mils and 45''s except my walther tph, but that''s even a little jumpy ]for a beginner[ since it''s such a short barrel. Sticking with the walther name, I jumped on this, plus if she didn''t like it at least I would have something with a picatinny rail to tinker with. Anyway, she loves it and actually so do I. I didn''t have to adjust the sights. Right out of the box, shot where it was aimed. I knew about the ammo pickiness beforehand so when my cheap .22 ammo was failing every round, I wasn''t disappointed. CCI mini mags are the best. Not 1 failure in about 1000 rounds. I couldn''t use stingers because of the hollow points. I knew about that too but I tried them anyway. But CCI mini mags are $10 for 100 at my walmart so it doesn''t break the bank anyway. All in all, great gun for plinking, reliable with the right ammo. I''ll hold on to this until my kids are old enough to start.
